Four years after Celebrity Chef Art Smith opened Art and Soul, the Capitol Hill restaurant underwent a refresh and re-opened in late February 2013. In addition to beautiful herringbone wood floors, textured walls, and unique artwork, you'll also enjoy an exciting new menu. Our approach is driven by our chefs’ Southern roots. We serve simple honest food and partner with like-minded farmers, artisans and growers to provide products that are sustainably and responsibly sourced, whenever possible. <br /><br />With celebrated two-time James Beard award winning Chef Art Smith as chef/owner, this Capitol Hill restaurant has received national and local acclaim for its "Food for the Soul" - modern regional cuisine with southern accents.

"The food is good, not great and VERY overpriced. I went with three men and none were able to get the beer of their choice (a regular beer) and the waiter's recommendation on "similar" beers were in now way similar. The mushroom soup was delicious. The ribeye was good but it was a small piece for the $43 price AND when one of our party asked for mac and choose instead of the roasted cauliflower and broccoli they added another $3 to that. Considering that our bill was $360 for 5 people (with tip) with no wine and one person not drinking at all, no dessert or coffee, we were all disappointed. I work close by but I won't be back."

"We went there with a coupon which included the charcuterie plate and a bottle of wine. The plate was delicious and a generous portion of meat and cheese. The extra bread was necessary but also good and hot. The wine wasn't vey good but we didn't get to pick. We also had a pasta stiffs with squash in. Utter sauce. It was tasty. Us the pasta was folded a little think.. I would definitely go back.."

"The tasting menu is definitely plentiful. There is a lot of food but the quality is uneven. For the price I think you would be better off ordering off the menu. Anything we had with shrimp was very good. Many of the fried items were greasy. The service was good and it was pretty empty so it is hard to tell about the noise level (except for the terrible music). The chairs are backless which may be OK for the young people but were not comfortable at all."

"We've eaten here before and it has been better. This time we ordered the calamari and it was tiny, hard circles you could hardly taste. The shrimp appetizer was two shrimp, not just overcooked but almost spongy, as if they had been frozen and unfrozen more than once., The mushroom baklava was good as was the onion soup. I must say we did complain and they were very apologetic but we were on a living social coupon so, since it required us to spend $40 there was no point in their taking things off the bill."
